Trump...end joint military exercises,pull troops

So now Trump is talking about ending joint military exercises with South Korea and pulling troops from the region. This would be a huge mistake with China's actions in the South China sea and a bit premature as we have no idea on North Korea's true intentions.

Trump isn't stupid enough to pull troops from the Korean border. He would be a fool to do so prematurely.
Can we eventually? I'd say yes. But you have a good point with China being close by and doing what they're doing.

We still have Nuclear missiles in S.Korea. Also in Japan.
We have bombers with warheads in Guam.

I just heard Newt Gingrich say we had nuclear missiles in
Montana that would reach N.Korea in 29 minutes (I don’t
know how long it would take to get to China) and also
have submarines stationed about with nukes on them.
Those joint exercises aren’t needed.

The declaration -- one that goes to the heart of the security of US allies and the United States' western defense perimeter -- raised concerns that Trump had made a significant concession at his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un without getting anything solid in return, particularly as he raised the prospect of pulling troops out of South Korea altogether.
"It's really breathtaking," said Michael J. Green, senior vice president for Asia and Japan chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
"When the President of the United States announces unilaterally to the leader of North Korea that we are going to stop our military exercises with our allies, Japan and Korea, and does not first tell those allies ... and then goes on to say that someday he'd like to get our troops out of Asia," Green said, "that's an astonishing development.

Correct me if I am wrong but have have you not said in the past this country should spend less on the military & more on social programs. You are correct that the military needs training to maintain air superiority. So what do you propose to be the correct action to keep our national defense strong?

Our Air Force trains DAILY. Planes flying around the world. I remember my kid telling me of trips from Indiana to Hawaii to Guam to Okinawa and return to Indiana. Or Indiana to Tampa to Alaska and return. They get practice. In the past, Mags normally jumps up and down about Military Spending......
